Connecting to the Access Point Locally
Connecting to the Access Point Locally
If you need to configure the access point locally (without connecting the access point to a wired LAN),
you can connect a PC to its console port using a DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable.
Caution Be careful when handling the access point, the bottom plate might be hot.
Note After completing your configuration changes, you must remove the serial cable from the access point.
Follow these steps to open the CLI by connecting to the access point console port:
Step 1 Connect a nine-pin, female DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable to the RJ-45 console port on the access point and
to the COM port on a computer.
Figure 4-3 shows the console port location.

Note The Cisco part number for the DB-9 to RJ-45 serial cable is AIR-CONCAB1200. Browse to
http://www.cisco.com/go/marketplace to order a serial cable.
Step 2 Set up a terminal emulator on your PC to communicate with the access point. Use the following settings
for the terminal emulator connection: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Step 3 At the prompts, enter the administrator username and password. The default username is Cisco and the
default password is Cisco. The username and password are case sensitive.
